Snow peas are a legume crop. It is a variety of pea that is eaten whole in its pod while still immature. Snow peas have thinner walls of two edible versions. This is the major difference between them and related closed garden peas whose pods are not edible. They are sources of vitamin A and C and are eaten raw, lightly cooked, steamed or stir-fried. As a leguminous crop, they host beneficial bacteria, rhizomes in their root nodules that fix nitrogen in the soil (a mutualism) and are therefore a useful crop to grow intercropped with green leafy vegetables that benefit from a high nitrogen content in the soil. peas are grown extensively in Western Australia, parts of Asia and France. In Africa, South Africa, Ethiopia and Zimbabwe are the major producers and in East Africa Kenya and Uganda are the major producers. In Kenya, Nyandarua and Transnzoia are the major producers but it is well distributed in other parts of Kenya. Snow peas require adequate air circulation for the beneficial nitrogen-fixing bacteria that live on the plant’s root. A constant supply of air is ensured by avoiding waterlogged areas and not compacting the soils after planting

Snow peas prefer a fertile sandy loam that drains well, but tolerate most soils other than clay -permeable. A P. H level of 6.0-7.5 is best. For soils with a lower P. H, 1kg of HUMIPOWER can be mixed with 50kg fertilizer or manure. This raises the soil P. H since low soil P. H has an adverse effect on crops such as;
How many times can you harvest peas?
Usually the time frame for the full pea harvest lasts from one to two weeks if all the peas are planted at the same time. Harvest as many times as necessary to remove all the peas from the vines. Continuous planting allows for a continuous supply of seeds and hulls ready for harvest.
Most pea cultivars will have time to produce a full crop by the end of the growing season if planted in July, but if you garden in an area known for early frosts and cannot guess you might choose to limit them. for summer planting with sugar snap peas or snow peas, eaten as a pod and whole while still

evaluated seeds with Mycorrhizae. By inoculating the seeds, the plants are stimulated, a greater yield is created, and it helps the roots to ‘fix’ the nitrogen in the soil.

There are three different types such as the the same plant species that we think of as peas today. Let’s go over some of the differences and some good varieties to grow for each.
Soak
Soak the peas in water for 24 hours (dried peas sold for cooking will usually grow fine and are much cheaper than buying seed packets ).
